Fri, 8/22 - Open at 12:15, recipes

Hi all,

It’s getting better out in the field. More blossoms and more berries coming in. The hours are getting better at the stand also. We’ll bring berries in at 12:15 and stay till we sell out. As always, come at 12:15 if you really need them. Wed we were open till 5PM so don’t right off your chance for berries later in the day. I’m checking the field today to see if we can open again on Mon or Sat. It all depends on what is ripening and how quickly we go thru the field.

Have you met the REAL Sally Strawberry??? Word has it she’ll be working at the stand today till 3:00 – Yeah – I’m puttin’ in my stand duty!!!

Spinach, Strawberry, Pecan Salad
1 lb. fresh spinach, washed & dried
1 pt. strawberries, washed & halved
1/2 c. pecan halves, toasted

Dressing:
1/3 c. raspberry vinegar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. vegetable or olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp. poppy seeds
Combine dressing ingredients except the poppy seeds in a blender. Add the poppy seeds by hand. Toss dressing with spinach, strawberries and hot pecans. The hot nuts will slightly wilt the greens.

Cheers!
Sally Strawberry
